OPENING LOG: Awakening

WHO: Everybody!
WHERE: The Junk Pile.
WHEN: Right here, right now.
WHAT: Game opening! Our Heroes find themselves in a strange place not of their own world, however familiar (or not) it may be.




Consciousness is slow, and a struggle to obtain. The moments before darkness are hazy enough; a great vertigo, a twisting, and then, falling. Falling for what seemed like forever. And when you are finally aware of your surroundings, it is most decidedly not where you came from.

Instead, you are now in what appears to be a wasteland. A wasteland...of junk. Debris as far as you can see, heaped in mini-mountains that offer only so good of a view of the world around you. Perhaps in the distance, you can make out some flatter land, perhaps you can just make out what looks like a crevice - but it's difficult at best. The light here is all wrong, the two greatest sources being a white line in the alien sky that doesn't so much give off light as simply have it - and something in the south that glows like a setting sun.

You may or may not notice it at first, but you, too, have something alien - something on your arm, more likely than not. A marking that glows softly, but offers no clue as to how it got there - no pain, no sensitivity. It's simply there, as you are here.

So.

Now what?

((OOC: This is it, you guys! Have a blast! Please remember to keep everything under the first thread for now; we'll be adding the Firstforged in in a little bit...

OKAY There is now a second thread to post in! Feel free to make new threads there to react to the arrival of the Firstforged, or respond directly to the Firstforged themselves.))

It's good his gas hatch isn't where Deckerd's is. (!!! How FORWARD! We've only just met...)

Wing is patient while McCrane works out the translation, and Wing soon needs to do the same.

Combustion engine? This throws him for a moment until he taps his historical archive. Interesting. In contrast to their sentience and mechanical complexity they had a remarkably less advanced fuel system. And it was only thanks to exposure to other alien cultures that he any clue what gasoline was.

"Finding fuel of that type here might be difficult. If we knew its chemical make-up it would be easier to find on sensor readings." He tapped the side of his helm, near his optics, realizing that the concept was likely too complex to be communicated properly.

Wing nods at the word "ancient". Whatever the glyphs origin were, it was either very old or very new. Still, the Cybertronian influence was comforting to him.

And he has to agree with the last statement, as it's pretty easy to decipher. "Are there more here you think? Perhaps scouting the area is a good next step?"

He understands when Wing mentions fueling and difficulty, because he's already run across that fact himself. There hasn't been anything remotely resembling a gasoline can, here, for as much as there has been everything else. The rest of it, however, sails right over his head...especially when Wing taps the side of his helm.

He shakes his head.

At 'scouting,' though, McCrane gestures off toward the distance. There's movement out on the piles of garbage.
"I will talk with them." He points. "If I learn anything, I will try to get in touch with you."

He looks down at the sword, and up at Wing, wondering if he even needs to ask this next question, but erring on the side of being polite. Just in case.

"Will you be alright, if I go?"

Wing follows the direction McCrane points, looking off into the distance and noting the movement. He understands 'talk' and 'learn' but is pretty sure he's misconstrued the meaning behind 'touch'. The corner of his mouth twitches with mirth and he clears his vents.

"I will be fine. I'll the opposite direction--" He points over the ridge behind him," --and see what I can discover. Then we can share any information we find."

He gives a nod, "Good luck to you then, friend."
